Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify which of the following equations has exactly one solution.

We will solve each equation to find the answer

A. ax+b=ax+b

Solving and finding value of x:

ax+b=ax+b\\ax-ax=b-b\\0=0

This equation has infinite number of solutions because both sides are equal to 0

B. ax=bx+c

Solving and finding value of x:

ax=bx+c\\ax-bx=c\\x(a-b)=c\\x=\frac{c}{a-b}

This equation has exactly one solution

C. ax+b=ax+c

ax+b=ax+c\\ax-ax=c-b\\0=c-b

This equation has no solution because both sides are not equal.

So, Option B is correct.

Option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively. This can be obtained by knowing what similar triangles are and finding which sides are proportional.

<h3>Find the correct option:</h3>

Similar triangles: If two triangles have proportional sides the are similar.

For example, if ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar then

\frac{AB}{DE}= \frac{BC}{EF} =\frac{AC}{DF}

∠ABC = ∠DEF and ∠ACB = ∠DFE

Then we can write that, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF

Here in this question,

Since A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV

XA = AW

WY = VY

XZ = VZ

To consider sides AY and XV we should take triangles ΔWAY and ΔWXV

\frac{WX}{WA} =\frac{2WA}{WA} = 2  (since A is the midpoint of WX)

\frac{WV}{WY} =\frac{2WY}{WY} = 2  (since Y is the midpoint of WV)  

∠AWY = ∠XWV (reflexive property)

Therefore ΔWAY and ΔWXV are similar triangles

\frac{WX}{WA}= \frac{XV}{AY} =\frac{WV}{WY} = 2

∠WAY = ∠WXV and ∠AYW = ∠XVW

Hence,

AY || XV option A AY || XV given that A, Y, Z are midpoints of sides XW, VW, XV respectively.
